Someone explain to me what the hell is going on and where are they? Is it like a livestream of a speedrun at a conference where they ask for donations?

Did the guy ended up working for Apple?
It's a couch speedrun. I never heard of this kind of competition (?) until I watched the video.

I haven't seen it yet but going by the posts ITT my assumption that it was a feel good story of a guy down on his luck asking for some entry level job and getting it done was wrong.

Yeah, honestly anyone laughing at this should really think about what it actually is. The dude asking Musk is fair game IMO, he's a grown ass man straight up asking for a position of power in the company. He seemed to have an ego problem and people with huge egos deserve to be taken down a notch.
The Minecraft video on the other hand shows a bunch of kids nervously asking questions in front of hundreds of others, including the devs of their favorite game. Many of them seem very awkward beyond the general awkwardness of being a kid. They mustered the courage to get up there and speak and then get laughed at just for being themselves.

Regarding the kids with general nervousness or awkwardness, that's just a part of socialization and growing up. We've all done embarrassing stuff as kids and honestly that's how you learn and mature. Those kinds of experiences stick with you and serve as little reminders to avoid those kinds of social situations.

Kids are always awkward in front of large crowds. I didn't find this particularly cringe-y, except for the couple of clips that involved grown people.

Honestly the panelists were being kinda jerks to some of them. Saying they don't understand or asking them elaborate.
No please noooooooooooo.
Ask for 30% more than what you want.

No way he was serious about that...
I bet he had this awesome joke question scenario in his head and then bombed horrifically without knowing a way out. That would be my guess
If he was so delusional to ask these things I think he would have maintained confidence throughout instead of breaking into a billion shards. Regardless, when I remember something embarrassing I've done I'll think of this video and then go about my day in peace.

I'm a level 4 infra-capitalist. I'm just innovating on investment wavelengths higher than can't be perceived by anyone below level 3.
That's where you're passed worrying about SP's, right?
I hope your laughter wasn't because of the way that kid talks.

What? The guy making all the comments was being super annoying, and the mustache guy, the guy speedrunning the game, is losing his focus. After all, he is trying to complete the game as quickly as possible, it requires skill and concentration. The couch people are supposed to aid the audience or be funny, the guy was being neither. He was just being stupid.
Because that's like being a second level Paladin. Call me when you get to 50, bro
When did Super Mario Brothers U get here??
How it went down in his mind the night before.
Musk: "So you say you're a genius huh? Can you start work tomorrow at 8am sharp?"
Dumbass: "Sir, if you don't mind, I'll be there an hour early."

A little background.
Roy, as you know, is a supergenius. Prior to the video posted in the OP, he presents this question:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJVVnTnYuNk
Which is already pretty odd.
He responded in one of the videos. No, he's not mentally challenged. No, he's not some troll. Roy is genuinely serious about his question.

Level 2? Was he referring to his Thetan count?

From the title I assumed he was asking for a 'job', not an executive position or be on the board.
He has some mad beats!!

Would have been better if you posted in the first page. Time value of post.

The cringe of that entire question and his entire like confidence in that question...it was just awkward. And the laughing....oh god. I feel for him but....level 2 though?
This guy is amazing. He has two self published Kindle books full of insight, which I read the samples of with a friend until I was crying laughing. Some samples:
His other book is full of sayings, like "The man on the street can steal your wallet. The man in the office can steal your life savings".

Poor kids. But then you see the one older guy asking about sequels - hopefully they see this and avoid turning into him.

Copious and Loathe are "fancy"/"big" words now? What?!
Is there anything that's the opposite of Imposter Syndrome? Like where you have nothing going for you but feel like it's a result of a series of coincidences and any day the entire world will recognize your greatness? I've encountered this to various degrees in the tech industry.
Well I mean he is a level 2 super genius, so pretty high.
It will be Edison vs Tesla all over again!
The Dunning-Kruger effect?
Basically it's when someone is so clueless as to their lack of skill that they think they're actually highly skilled.
Or do you mean someone with real skills that perceives that they've just been unlucky until now?

i think the dunning-kruger effect works both ways, with the imposter syndrome being one side of it. it's about over- and under-estimation of personal abilities.

His genius practically—no, literally—leaps from the letters. Brb, I need to find a fly swatter.This guy is amazing. He has two self published Kindle books full of insight, which I read the samples of with a friend until I was crying laughing. Some samples:

Check out all those Fancy Educated Words. That author is really discriminatory.

Apparantly the guys has a youtube channel where he had a 10 hour video of him talking about his intelligence. He took the video down by now, though.
He also has a soundcloud because he is a rapper/producer. Go check his stuff out.
Doesn't seem like a troll to me, just a very weird human beeing.
There's a section in the book literally called "Sex Hustle". It's not in the sample, though, and I do not wish to pay $30 for a used copy to find out what is inside.
These used to be available as eBooks for $1 or $2 each and I debated buying them but held off. Now they are gone.
